Is YOUR Democratic Rep. on this list?

[annabanana]

As Ernestine used to say...
"One Ringy-Dingy."

If your Congress Member is a Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, please phone their office as soon as you can on Monday and tell him/her to vote against the supplemental spending bill for" Dick & Georgie's Disastrous Adventure" in committee.

Voting No when the War Supplemental reaches the the full House is not enough; nor is voting for amendments to "improve" the bill. Every Democrat must Vote No on the Supplemental in the Appropriations Committee.

Democratic Members of the House Appropriations Committee: David R. Obey (Chair), John P. Murtha, Norman D. Dicks, Alan B. Mollohan, Marcy Kaptur, Peter J. Visclosky, Nita M. Lowey, Jose E. Serrano, Rosa L. DeLauro, James P. Moran, John W. Olver, Ed Pastor, David E. Price, Chet Edwards, Robert E. "Bud" Cramer, Jr., Patrick J. Kennedy, Maurice D. Hinchey, Lucille Roybal-Allard, Sam Farr, Jesse L. Jackson, Jr., Carolyn C. Kilpatrick, Allen Boyd, Chaka Fattah, Steven R. Rothman, Sanford Bishop, Marion Berry, Barbara Lee, Tom Udall, Adam Schiff, Michael Honda, Betty McCollum, Steve Israel, Tim Ryan, C.A "Dutch" Ruppersberger, Ben Chandler, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Ciro Rodriguez.

1. My rep is not on the list, but

I think it would be helpful if you gave out the actual name of the bill - if you call & ask them to oppose George & Dick's Disastrous Adventure, you'll get a laugh, but won't be taken seriously.

You can say, "Please oppose Supplemental Appropriations bill XYZ, aka, George & Dick's Disastrous Adventure..."

3. It is part of the Budget....

It is a blank check. (It will end up funding the Iran invasion.)

2. Doesn't it start in Defense Appropriations Subcommittee?

Which is Murtha's gig :shrug:
